Side effects of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery to achieve breast enlargement by implanting a prosthesis. Although this is a common cosmetic surgery, it is not without risks. When performing breast augmentation surgery, patients need to understand the possible side effects and complications, and clarify their expectations in the discussion with the doctor. The four main side effects of breast augmentation surgery will be discussed in detail below.
1. Operation risks and complications
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation process, so it will inevitably be accompanied by some risks and complications. Incomplete preoperative examination, improper operation and postoperative infection are the main reasons for the risk of surgery. During the operation, bleeding, hematoma, tissue necrosis and incarceration of nerves may occur. In addition, complications such as scar hyperplasia, breast deformation, nipple paresthesia and nipple necrosis may occur after surgery. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, we should choose a formal and experienced beauty and plastic surgery hospital, regularly review before and after surgery, and carry out nursing and rehabilitation according to the doctor's recommendations.
2. Problems related to breast prosthesis
Breast prosthesis is one of the commonly used materials in breast augmentation surgery. However, breast implants can also cause problems. First, because breast prosthesis implantation requires surgery, patients may experience pain, discomfort or trauma after surgery. Secondly, the breast prosthesis may break or leak out of its internal filler, which may cause the breast to become hard, deformed or unbalanced. In addition, breast prosthesis may also produce rejection reaction with the body, causing complications such as scar tissue hyperplasia or breast capsule contraction. Therefore, breast prosthesis inspection should be carried out regularly after surgery to find and deal with problems related to breast prosthesis in a timely manner.
3. Changes in breast function and sensation
Breast augmentation surgery may affect breast function and sensation. After surgery, the breast may become more sensitive or numb, depending on whether the nerve related to breast sensation is damaged during surgery. In addition, the sensation of touch, temperature or pain may change in the breast after surgery. Although most of these changes in functions and feelings are temporary, sometimes they can be permanent. Before the operation, the doctor will explain these possible changes in detail, and the patient should have full understanding and preparation.
4. Psychological and social impact
Breast augmentation surgery may have a psychological and social impact on individuals. Some people may expect to improve their appearance and self-confidence after surgery. However, the results of breast augmentation surgery are not all as expected by the patients, which may not fully meet their psychological needs, and even sometimes may cause unreasonable expectations. In addition, the recovery period after surgery is long, and it may take some time to adapt to new physical feelings. Therefore, before surgery, patients should fully consider the possible psychological and social impact of surgery, and fully communicate and support with family or friends.
To sum up, breast augmentation surgery is not without side effects. Before deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and side effects of the surgery, and carefully consider when selecting hospitals and doctors. Only through comprehensive discussion and adequate preparation can patients achieve ideal results after surgery and minimize the occurrence of side effects.
